Professorship chair

Health safety management (Delft University of Technology)

Research area

The focus of my research is on quantifying and modelling the factors contributing to a Just culture in organisations (e.g. creating psychological safe teams) and its relation with the organisational learning capabilities and the prevention of incidents. In 2019 I received the yearly Society of Petroleum Engineers North Sea Regional Health, Safety, Security, Environment, and Social Responsibility Award and was nominated for the 2020 Global award.
